I FOUND ONLY GENERAL INFORMATION THAT OUR 1999 JEEP CHEROKEE HAD TWO RECALLS. IT IS TWENTY YEARS OLD AND I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE RECALLS. WE ARE MOST CONCERNED TO LEARN THAT THERE WAS AN AIR BAG RECALL SOMETIME IN THE PAST. WE HAVE OWNED IT SINCE 2003 AND NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL. THE INFO SAID IT WAS A NHTSA RECALL #00V105000. THE OTHER RECALL SAYS IT'S AN AFTER-MARKET FUEL PUMP AIR TEX ELECTRIC FUEL PUMPS FOR 1999 ' 2004. PLEASE SEND US ANY INFORMATION ON THIS AND WHAT WE CAN DO ABOUT IT, IF ANYTHING. THANK YOU
